Heneken Melts

Heneken Melts is located in Spišské Vlachy /Slovakia/. This region was known for smelting scrap and production of aluminium alloys already in the 90´s.

Despite the economically turbulent development in the last decade of 20^th^. century the metallurgical tradition of the region was preserved by the company Slesalko, which in 2016 resumed recycling of aluminium scrap. After months of intensive cooperation Heneken acquired Slesalko in 2017. This was the cornerstone of creating a metallurgical group of several production factories.

01 factory

At Heneken Melts, we specialize mainly in remelting aluminium scrap. However, we also melt primary aluminium and supply our customers with high quality alloys in form of ingots.

From the very beginning, we have started implementing an extensive investment program. Thanks to a complete exchange of technologies and partial automation, we have achieved a fourfold increase in production capacity.

On the gas furnace line, Heneken Melts produces aluminium alloys. The precise preparation and sorting of inputs, modern melting line, automated stacking and high equipped laboratory guarantees highest quality and satisfaction of our customers.

02 Unique in Europe

Due to diversification and continuous improvement of the production Heneken Melts is unique in Central Europe.

The production technologies were extended by a line of electric induction furnaces. The production speed is enhanced by a gas shaft furnace. It is used for production of master alloys with higher added value, used as additives in the foundry industry.

Hand in hand with technical modernization we managed a complete revitalization of the area. The reconstructed office building, production hall, warehouses and roads highlight the highest level and create a quality and safe working environment for our employees.

In 2021, we improved our production program and started to produce ferrotitanium which is being supplied to partners all over the world.

03 Ecological aspects

Carbon footprint almost twice as low as the industry average

In general, the carbon footprint of primary aluminum production ranges from less than four tons of CO2 to more than 20 tons of CO2 per ton of aluminum.

However, the aluminum recycling process requires much less energy. It produces on average around 0.5 tonnes of CO2 per tonne of aluminum.

Through regular investments in green solutions, we managed to achieve a significant value of 0.28 tons of CO2 per 1 ton of aluminum produced. That is almost two times lower than the industry average.

We are actively working on carbon neutrality and minimizing the impact of our production on the surrounding area and employees ♻
